Do you honestly think a person who has truly repented and come to Christ. And saved from his sins is going to want to sin?
When people call grace a license to sin, they are normally legalistic in nature. And I must wonder why they think the Way they do. John said whoever lives in sin has never seen God. Whoever is born of God can not live in sin,.
Thi thread is about the sabbath. The sabbath was a day of rest. on 6 days you work. On the seventh you do not.. Most people who claim to follow the sabbath do not follow it themselves. they have made it a ritual like the jews did. And take it out of Context
the fact is. Paul said do not judge people concerning the sabbath,
col 2: 16
16 So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a [j]festival or a new moon or sabbaths, 17 which are a shadow of things to come, but the [k]substance is of Christ. 18 Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has [l]not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 and not holding fast to the Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows with the increase that is from God.
20 [m]Therefore, if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as thoughliving in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations— 21 “Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle,” 22 which all concern things which perish with the using—according to the commandments and doctrines of men? 23 These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, and [n]neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.
and again in romans 14: One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; [a]and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks. 7 For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself. 8 For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. 9 For to this end Christ died [b]and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living. 10 But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of [c]Christ. 11 For it is written:
so why do people judge others about a day?
I am busy all week. I meet with my home church or mens group 2 nights a week. On sunday, I am with my church body and church family most of the day. So there are times I must mow the grass on Saturday. I must wash my car, or do things I could not get done.. I try not to do anything on Saturday. But i do not think God is going to judge me because I did a few things on saterday because the rest of my week was busy serving God or my church family or my home family

The other verse you are quoting from Colossians you are leaving out the context. There is more than one Sabbath in the scripture and Paul made it abundantly clear which Sabbath he is referring to. The annuals sabbath(s) written by Moses- not one of God’s finger-written commandments that is holy and blessed by God that no man can reverse Num 23:20 because man is not above God. I do hope you prayerfully consider the context.
Paul made it clear, the sabbath(s) he was referring to the ordinances handwritten by Moses which the context is in verse 14 Co 2:14Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
No one ever quotes this because they want to stay in darkness instead of coming to God's Truth.
The Sabbath is a commandment of God, not a suggestion, finger written personally by our Lord and Savior that is holy and blessed (not the definition of contrary or against)and God said "Remember" because He knew everyone would forget. Once God blesses something as He did the Sabbath day, man cannot reverse. Num 23:20
The seventh day Sabbath is not a shadow of anything because it started at Creation- Gen 2:1-3 Exo 20:11God's perfect plan before the fall of man. The annual sabbath(s) called holy days that were ordinances Exo 12:43 Num 9:12 added after the fall of man that had to do with food and drink offerings Heb 9:10 Num 29:21 Num 29:24, the context of this passage, that were handwritten by Moses 1 Chro 33:8 that all was a placeholder until Jesus came 1 Cor 5:7 Col 2:17 Heb 10:1-22 as the blood of animals made nothing perfect but the blood of Christ can cleanse us of all sin and unrighteousness.
Rom 14:15 is referring to opinions of man, not what day God esteems over all others- the Sabbath is My holy day, the seventh day is the Sabbath Exo 20:10 Isa 58:13 which is why Romans 14 never once mentions the Sabbath. Man adds it there because that's their will, not God's. Romans 14:15 correlates with Col 2:14-17 and if one wanted to read Romans 14 in context you would see it is about food and drink, judging and opinions of man- not opinions of God. There is nothing in all the Ten Commandments that is about food or drink offerings.
